Before the media, the PRI senator criticized the security strategy implemented by López Obrador's administration, known as "hugs, not bullets".

He claims that this policy was not only ineffective but also allowed the strengthening and expansion of criminal groups in the country between 2018 and 2024.

Investigation in Mexico and the United States

Alito Moreno reported that he will file complaints both in Mexico and with international organizations in the United States. His objective is to investigate the inaction of the Morena government against organized crime and clarify the alleged links that have been attributed to them with drug trafficking.

"I will denounce them because they are accused of having links with organized crime and because they do not solve security issues."
